Cleaning Injectors

Since I'm about to service my rave valves I thought it an opportune time to clean the fuel injectors as well. I've been searching for tips on how to do that but unless I'm looking in the wrong spot all together there doesn't seem to be anything on it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Should I just use an injector cleaning fuel additive?

Do I really need to clean them?
 
I don't know what it would cost or if you would want to ship them to the US, but I have a friend who has a high dollar fuel injector cleaning/testing rig that he bought from a performance diesel shop that was closing down. He cleaned and tested my RFI injectors and does a ton of the local Mustang crowd injectors. My RFI had 60 lb/hr Bosch injectors. Mine were perfectly fine and they had around 170 hours on them. It was nice though seeing them spray!

Here is his Youtube channel. Some of his customers request seeing a video.

Thanks skewba98z28,

I'll look into the costs, would proably be cheaper to have somone here do it I would imagine. Would love to know if I can do it myself. Nice video.....

Cheers
 
if your not really having a problem, u can actually pull your injector rail -- 2 10 mm bolts, 1 quick disconnect and 2 wiring connectors, then remove rail, remove injectors and manually clean them using a can of throttle body cleaner, (in the inlet side) (they have a cone) its a cone shaped screen to catch contaminates, just spray out real good and look with light to verify nice and clean, then spray out injector rail, re-assemble spraying o rings slightly with silicon, -- your injectors inside should be ok, they are not built like early type injectors like in the eighty's, if u do it, run fuel tank low on fuel, clean em, fill it up and add bout 1/2 bottle of some type of cleaner, seafoam is ok.whole job takes less than 1 hr

mine are bosch injectors, they are pintle style injectors, dont really clog up that much and idle better, yours should be bosch also, lucas injectors are disc type, good also but more prone to needing serviced sometime most critical thing is moisture ruining injectors though, and olifin in fuels is a waxing agent that some additive will take care of --- but just use additive sometimes, maybe every 6-7 tanks of fuel -

I Have my 787 RFI out for rebuild and have been cleaning everthing up and while looking at my injectors they look different.
That Pin on the bottom is missing? Does it move up and down and just slide inside or is it sheared off. The Pic with it missing is from the tore up cylinder??
